Alec Lazarescu is a 17 year veteran of the digital education domain having roles officially as a software engineer, DBA, director, chief architect and CTO and unofficially as sysadmin, operations, and project manager often wearing many hats at once. His passion is helping people learn and work more effectively aided by technology and lean, data-driven improvement principles. Automation, monitoring, metrics, management of team structures, and value stream continuous improvement have all been enablers of this mission and in the last few years they've all found a space under the umbrella of DevOps. Alec is also a speaker and organizer for various community events in NY and NJ including a few years serving the energized 300+ crowd at SQLSaturday NYC. He has also recently started a DevOps blog at http://www.pragmaticdevops.com/.
